I very much agree.
I've got a certification there also and I can say there's
not much to it and it's not worth much,also I wouldn't know
if that(expertrating) or any other perl CERT is recognized anywhere.
At least Larry Wall says: If they want to get certified and somebody wants to certify them, that's fine. I just don't want to do that myself.

When putting a smiley right before a closing parenthesis, do you:

Use two parentheses: (Like this: :) )
Use one parenthesis: (Like this: :)
Reverse direction of the smiley: (Like this: (: )
Use angle/square brackets instead of parentheses
Use C-style commenting to set the smiley off from the closing parenthesis
Make the smiley a dunce: (:>
I disapprove of emoticons
